STINT 2025

Space-Terrestrial Internetworking Workshop

The Forum for Delay-Tolerant and Space Networking Research

October 13–15, 2025
Halifax, NS, Canada

Scope & Overview

The Space-Terrestrial Internetworking Workshop (STINT) brings together researchers and practitioners working on networking challenges in space-terrestrial environments. The workshop focuses on cutting-edge research in space networking, including Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN), Internet of Things (IoT) in space, routing protocols, and hybrid space-terrestrial architectures.

STINT provides a forum for discussing the latest advances in space-terrestrial internetworking, including protocol design, network architectures, security, and applications. The workshop encourages submissions that address both theoretical and practical aspects of networking in challenging space environments.

Topics of Interest

  • Space-terrestrial network architectures
  • Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN)
  • Routing protocols for space networks
  • IoT in space environments
  • Security and privacy in space networks
  • Hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks
  • Network simulation and emulation
  • Applications of space-terrestrial networking

Call for Papers

We invite original research papers (6 pages) and short position papers (4 pages) on all aspects of space-terrestrial internetworking. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the IEEE WiSEE 2025 proceedings.

Papers should be submitted in PDF format through the IEEE WiSEE submission system. Submissions must follow the IEEE conference template (double-column, 10pt font).

History of STINT

STINT Icon

The Space-Terrestrial Internetworking Workshop (STINT) was established to bring together researchers and practitioners working on networking challenges in space-terrestrial environments. Since its inception, STINT has grown to become a premier forum for discussing the latest advances in space networking.

STINT has been co-located with several major conferences, including IEEE WiSEE, IEEE ICC, and IEEE Globecom. Each edition has contributed to advancing the state of the art in space-terrestrial internetworking, with papers and discussions that have influenced both research and operational systems.
